What is an Apostolic Leader?

Apostolic leaders are always plotting where the mission needs to go next

The Apostolic vocation in the church as noted in Ephesians 4 is very important to me personally and vital for the Kingdom of God as it continues to move forward.

What makes the Apostolic vocation extremely important is the fact that it is the primary role in charge of pushing forward the mission of God.

The Apostolic function of the church is responsible for pushing forward the mission of God and designing the way the church carries that out. These are our primary catalysts, visionaries and risk takers in the body when it comes to advancing the mission of God. We need them and we need them fully empowered!

At the very worst, it is a negative word, associated with crazies who have distorted the vocation and defined it in unhelpful and unhealthy ways.

At the very best it is being activated day by day as a legitimate vocation in the church and we are seeing the mission of God screaming forward.

However, the majority of people and churches are somewhere in the middle, and they just don’t talk about the Apostolic vocation much. Its just not a word you would find in those people or in the language of the church leadership. Therefore, the apostolic calling is not being released.

Well, we are going to talk about it a lot here as you can tell by now!

Dvid, sorry you feel that way. Can you please explain or give us some background on why you feel this way? It sounds like you have had some bad experiences. feel free to email me at beau@releasetheape.com

A person sees himself as an apostle. He works his his way to leadership in a church and then breaks away taking half of the members with him to do his own thing. He is likely a false apostle. If he stays to work for a change it is better. If he must leave he must go alone without manipulation people. The most honourable thing is to find new people in a previously unevangelised area.

About Release The APE

Beau Crosetto founded Release the APE in the summer of 2012 out of a desire to see more APE gifted people inspired and encouraged to live into their calling. While he was the original vision and energy behind this blog, it truly has been a community effort going forward.

Our hope is to inspire you to plant new ministry (apostolic), share the gospel with more people far from God (evangelistic) and work for justice and reconciliation in marginalized places (prophetic).
